I got nothing[1]. I feel robbed.

(I also had my 2nd jab the other day. I again got muscle-aches and other symptoms across most of my body, starting maybe 6 hours or so after the event - though not anywhere as bad as the 1st Jab response. I'm now pretty much back to normal except for my jab-site hurting something rotten.)

I also lost my chance to post this parody (the original is on this page, and I had fun making mine, just a day before it became obsolete), but I'm fairly certain this other will still come in handy for something, probably on another thread...





[1] Actually, the 'bribe' in England is that doubly-vaccinated people (and under-18s, as a sop to their status of 'not expected to be jabbed') can ignore the current self-isolation orders based on known-contact. I'm not sure if the PCR-test alternative is a replacement or just 'a suggestion'. I have no idea how this affects me, though. Probably doesn't.

*sigh*. Coulda used that money.

$50 gift card.

Gift card to what, tho? Target? Walmart?
or, heaven forbid, APPLEBEES?

I know it doesn't pay the bills, but the 2-3 month head start I got on some peace of mind and more collective ability to slow the spread is worth any lack of monetary incentive to me.

Unrelated, but in hindsight with the naming standard change, I have pretty much no idea where the Delta variant is prevalent right now.

Hard to say. You need variant-testing. Apparently 90% of UK cases (with a new wave clearly happening) are Delta. But one can assume that (parts of?) India are awash with it, with a low rate of positive confirmation.

There was mention of .za being another place with high incidence, but they're another with variant-detecting expertise (they picked up the strain now known as Beta, originally) so its more likely to be just known more rather than particularly more incident than amongst less (publically) informative jurisdictions.


If Delta came from India (it could have just as easily have been taken to there) then it's probably found itself passed onto most of the world. Either directly or via another nation (UK, e.g.) that is now a hub despite all the best-planned travel-lockdowns (and, honestly, travel lockdowns have generally not been best-planned).

Delta is quickly becoming old news.
It's Lambda (from Peru) that's hip and new now

Here all prognoses points to Delta becoming the prevailing variant but so far (or, well, as of a few days ago) it's mainly contained to particular regions.

Close enough

According to the Daily Mail (citing the CDC) Delta is now the dominant strain in the USA.  They also claim that it is the dominant strain in the UK.  Fiji has been overrun by the Delta variant, as have many places in SE-Asia like Vietnam.

So much for the absurd predictions that Covid would not mutate...

Good news.  Been on vacation this week.

Bad news.  I got Freedom Covid for my 4th.  I guess... never bothered getting tested - started with a bit of a fever, raw throat, dry cough, headaches...  2nd or 3rd day I wondered about my sense of smell, and opened up my tin of Tiger Balm.  Yep, only the faintest trace of a scent.  (Tried the Vicks Vapo-rub, too, same.)  Figured I'm staying at home for vacay anyway, so I'll just self-quarantine.

And yes, I did get vaccinated already.  The counties near me in my state are showing an uptick in Delta.  This is my 2nd time, 1st was just after Thanksgiving.   Hmm..  what's the next holiday I should watch out for?

No clue where I would have picked it up, but then my state is around 37% vaccinated anyway.

I shot the sheriff
But the deputee was anti-vax

[Egan_BW]

I got shot.

Im guessing that we should see the other guy.

I got both shots. Forgot which vaccine it was though. No side effects
